Updated WTC Points Table: Following the India vs Bangladesh first Test, the WTC points table has experienced notable shifts. India showcased their dominance, securing a convincing victory by 280 runs against the Bengal Tigers. As they gear up for the second Test in Kanpur, the team’s focus remains on their mission for the WTC final.
On the other hand, Bangladesh entered this match with newfound confidence after their 2-0 series win over Pakistan. However, they faced a stark reality check, as key players like Litton Das and Shakib Al Hasan struggled to perform. This disappointing outcome saw Bangladesh drop from fourth to sixth in the standings.
Let’s take a closer look at the updated WTC points table and what the future may hold for both teams.
The Rajkot Test will be remembered as a testament to India’s dominance on the cricket field. Led by outstanding performances from Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ravindra Jadeja, the Indian team showcased their skills in every aspect of the game. Jaiswal’s double century set the stage for India’s strong first innings, while Jadeja’s superb all-round performance—scoring a century and taking five wickets—highlighted his importance to the team.
Facing a daunting target of 556 runs, England struggled against India’s bowling attack and were dismissed for just 122 runs. This comprehensive victory not only gave India a crucial 2-1 series lead but also increased their percentage points in the WTC standings to 59.52, pushing them back to the 2nd position. After this Rajkot win led by India, they went slow in the fields of Ranchi but Dhruv Jurel held the Indian team back in the game, and the team sat in 1st place by a victory of 5 wickets.
